Patch Costume Contest Now Closed

Heidi Klum will choose the grand prize winner from our favorite photos of your creative kids' costumes.

Which kid in America has the most creative Halloween costume in the pumpkin patch? That's what we intend to find out with your photos and the help of celebrity judge Heidi Klum, who will select the grand prize winner.

The grand prize? Patch will whisk the winner to New York or Los Angeles for a three-day, two-night trip for two that includes a meet and greet with Heidi, plus a donation of $1,031 to a local charity of the winner's choice. Nine runners-up will also get a $1,031 donation from Patch to a local charity of their choice. Full rules are here.

We have stopped accepting entries for the contest, but we'd love for you to continue sharing your Halloween photos on Patch. Simply click the green Submit Your Photos button (above or below), and upload your image. To add a caption, click Edit Photo after uploading the image, and fill in the caption line. Then click Finished Editing.
